Just like any young woman with a world of possibilities at her fingertips, Laura Whitaker couldn’t wait to pass her driving test and get out onto the roads.
But concerns were raised a week before the big day when her instructor noticed she was struggling to see other number plates. The DVLA states drivers must be able to read a car number plate from 20 metres away.
Laura, from Stockport, was advised to book an immediate eye test. However, opticians couldn't figure out what was causing her vision problems, advising her to cancel her test and go to hospital.
